dc.description.abstract | Interactions between rat pulmonary artery endothelial cells and hydrogen peroxide or toxic oxygen products from phorbol ester-activated human neutrophils result in endothelial cell killing defined by 51Cr release. It has been shown that this cytotoxic reaction can be blocked by the presence of catalase, iron chelators, or scavengers of the hydroxyl radical. Evidence shows that products from xanthine oxidase of endothelial cells are necessary for the toxic effects of hydrogen peroxide or phorbol ester-activated neutrophils. Addition of xanthine oxidase inhibitors protects against phorbol ester-mediated injury of endothelial cells. Preloading of endothelial cells with superoxide dismutase attenuates injury caused either by hydrogen peroxide or phorbol ester-activated neutrophils. Conversion of xanthine dehydrogenase to xanthine oxidase in endothelial cells occurs during contact of endothelial cells by activated neutrophils. This conversion is not related to oxygen products of neutrophils. Conversion of xanthine dehydrogenase to xanthine oxidase in endothelial cells is also induced by endothelial cell contact with C5a, N'-formyl-methionyl-leucyl-phenylalanine (fMLP), or tumor necrosis factor alpha (TNF[alpha]). Interaction of hydrogen peroxide with endothelial cells rapidly depletes adenosine triphosphate (ATP) and causes the extracellular appearance of xanthine and hypoxanthine. Agents that protect endothelial cells from the toxic effects of hydrogen peroxide do not prevent falls in cellular ATP caused by hydrogen peroxide, indicating that ATP levels do not necessarily correlate with cytotoxic events. A synergy between hydrogen peroxide and proteases in endothelial cell killing has been demonstrated. TNF[alpha] causes alterations in endothelial cells, the result of which is increased susceptibility to killing by PMA-activated neutrophils. | en_US |
